What's going on here ladies?

Emilee

So the past 3 days I have had contractions every 3 to 5 minutes. The first day the hospital gave me a shot to stop contractions. I went home just to get then again. Went back the next day, and they gave me steroid shots to mature babies lungs as I am only 33.5 weeks. Now it's a constant severe ache in my back that doesn't go away at all. The stomach contractions are not as consistant but are VERY strong when they hit. They naturally make me push when they hit. And they last a good 45 seconds to a minute. What is going on ladies???
